A robust two-phase-flow large-eddy-simulation methodology is applied to simulate the primary breakup of an axisymmetric liquid jet injected into an air crossflow at atmospheric pressure. The coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid method is implemented for accurate interface tracking. To deal with high liquid/gas density ratio, an extrapolated liquid-velocity field is created and used for momentum-equation discretization in the vicinity of the interface. Based on the local level-set value, sharp jumps in fluid density and viscosity are assumed across the interface. By simulating the nonturbulent inflow of a liquid jet into a nonturbulent gaseous crossflow, regular surface waves are observed in the large-eddy-simulation predictions on the upstream side of the liquid jet, with the wavelength agreeing well with experimental measurements. The predicted wavelength decreases as the gaseous Weber number increases, implying that the surface waves arise from a Rayleigh–Taylor-type instability. The simulated velocity...
